Local Form
Each quadratic differential on a domain in the complex plane may be written as where is the complex variable and is a complex valued function on . Such a `local' quadratic differential is holomorphic if and only if is holomorphic. Given a chart for a general Riemann surface and a quadratic differential on, the pull-back defines a quadratic differential on a domain in the complex plane.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or form:
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“For women who do not love us, as for the “disappeared”, knowing that we no longer have any hope does not prevent us form continuing to wait. We live on our guard, on watch; women whose son has gone asea on a dangerous exploration imagine at any minute, although it has long been certain that he has perished, that he will enter, miraculously saved, and healthy.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
